WARNED OF HIS FATE,

The Democratic Postmaster of
Pierre Has Incurred the Dis
pleasure of the Hon. Nj. I'll. Day,
Sulphur Burned. !!
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-E. B. Miller,
the Democratic postmaster at Pierre, is
likely to get himself into trouble. 1t is
spoken of at the department in no I'M
certain manner. and word to the wise
should be sufficient. The postmaster in
question holds presidential Office to
which he was appointed upon the
solicitation of Mr.. Day. Since his con-
fmation he has been allied to the fac
ton which has hitherto opposed Mr..
Day, and has seemed entirely to forget
to whose kindly interest he owes the
white bread and good yellow butter
daily sticks to his ribs. Besides
abusing the aforesaid Day on
various occasions, in divers and
Sundry manners he has re-
Gently been after some of Days friends.
That is where the line has to be drawn.
As long as he merely made personal
warfare upon Day that sturdy citizen
smiled nonchalantly and said nothing.
But now that the postmaster has gone
so far as to recommend to the depart
ment that certain fOurth-class post
master be removed, and that postmaster
of the fourth class is friend of Days,
the committeeman is, to use his own ex-
preston, "a little hot under the collar"
1t has been demonstrated to be an ex-
cellent thing to be on the soft side of
his heart when Day gets warm in that
manner. Ergo, the postmaster referred
to would do we'll to haul in his horns
while there is yet room in the ark of
safety. The merits and dement's
of factions have nothing to do
with the case. 1t is not a fac
tional, but personal matter now. So
long as Day alone was attacked by the
postmaster he regarded it as factional
fight. ''Bnt," he says, ''when any man
jumps onto friend of mine merely be-
cause he is my friend, then the matter
becomes too red-hot and personal for
comfort, and something will drop soon
and suddenly" Inasmuch as Mr.. Day
has monopoly of the postal business in
the territory, in the matter of app ONT
ments and removals, his words have an
awful significance. Winter is coming
on, and if that postmaster happens TO be
out of Office he will undoubtedly dis
cover that the price of coal is enormous,
that fodder is dear, and that it is very
cold and cruel world to live in. These
are the words of wisdom.

of the Reservation.
Special to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, Oct. 14.-Diligent prob
ing of the leaders of either political
party in the hills at this time fails to
draw blood on the division question.
General apathy commands both forces
in that issue. There is no intention to
make it party question on either side,
and admission as one and admission in
two finds friends theoretically in both
parties. The politicians and Office
seekers are for division, but the great
yearning cry of the rank and file of both
parties is: "Give us admission at any
price-the way that will get us in quick
est is best!" 1t is conceded that there
will be fair poll of votes OH the ques-
ton next month, and that the expression
will be very largely for division. 1t will
not be made party. question. but indi-
viduals will be left to go as they please.
A question in which the people of the
hills take far more interest is that of
opening the Sioux reservation; and it is
chiefly because they believe the ,reser-
walton will never be opened until the
territory is admitted that people are SO
DESTROYS of admission at any price. If
the vote were to be taken on the Ques-
ton of opening the reservation, you
would see plenty of interest, where now
is apathy; and the admission question
might be indefinitely postponed, if we
thought the fence were to be thrown
down which shuts us out from the
world and railroad competition. No one
here, however, hugs the delusive phan-
tom of hope of relief in the near future
When years of supplication, argument,
pressure from interested corporations
and all the influence that powerless
constituency can exert at Washington
have resulted in giving us proposition
to submit the question of our relief to
the Indians, there is little hope felt for
any action by congress. The best-in-
formed men are unanimous in the
opinion that the Dawes bill, or any
allotment-in-severalty measure upon
which the Indians are allowed to
vote, are tantamount merely to indefi-

WAS HINGTON, Oct. 14.-Another case

His story is tragedy and romance COM

On the I'd day of February. 1869, at Sauls-
bury, Tenn, little town on the Memphis
d Charleston railroad, a younger brother of
Smith became involved in a difficulty with
two men named Bowden and Reed, weH-to-
do residents in the vicinity. Young Smith
was getting the worst of the ARRAY, when
Guy drew a revolver and rushed to the res
cue. Two pistol shots rang out, and Bowden
and Reed fell to the ground, shot through the
body. Then the man who had done the deed
to save his brother from the indignity of
thrashing threw away his smoking pistol,

once found against Smith charging him with

Met and How They Got Into
Their Present Trouble.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Thames R..
Dayton, of Aberdeen, one of the claim
ants to the tract of land lying inside
the limits of that city, was recently
here. When he left the city he was
confident that the decision of the secre-
tary of the interior would be favorable
to him. Mr.. Dayton used to keep a
hotel in Minneapolis, and had for
guest Lyman G. Dayton. They were
not related, but were intimate friends.
Suddenly it daWned upon the minds of
each Dayton that the other fellow was
trying to play some smart trick upon
him. Each Dayton got matchmaker
than the other Dayton-and they swore
eternal vengeance upon each other.
Each of them had money to spend ON
the lawyers. The lawyers were scarce,
however, and they had to split
Washington firm right in the middle
IN order to get good lawyers. 1t is only
yers are not always so scarce. These
lawyers were Zaehry &c Lamar. jim
Dayton got the services of young
Lamar, and Lyman Dayton retained
the services of Zachry. Thus, you see,
the firm
WAS BADLY RENT IN TWAIN
over this case of Dayton versus Dayton.
Well, inasmuch as the fees come into
the firm of Zachry & Lamar from both
sides, it don't make much difference in
this city which side wins. Secretary
Lamar sees. He decided recently that
neither Dayton has any right to the
land, and the w hole valuable tract is
left to the city of Aberdeen. Now the
city of Aberdeen has already tried to
get this land, through its mayor, Nc
Chesney. But, inasmuch as Mac failed
to get onto it, his brother-in-law, or some
other near relative named BrOOks,is after
probably as much surprised at the de-
cision Of the secretary adverse to him
self as Hon. Josh Billings was when he
wrote: sThe most onexpectedest
thing in life is twins, and my wife has
'em." James was jubulant when he
left Washington, and he had good
reason to be; but the fates were against
him. He had expended at least one
tenth the value of that land trying to
beat the other fellow out of it, and yet
he has not succeeded. Being man of
determination and vim, although adj
vanced in years, he will stick to the
fight, if it takes his la st dollar. His at
tOrneys will not give up the fight yet,
and James Dayton will not. Lyman
Dayton, ON the contrary, is now fighting
rather for the benefit of others, and to
keep James out of the land, that for his
own benefit. 1t is celebrated case,
and the end is not yet.

THE TIN. MINES.

u
The English Commission Con-
c1udes Its Investigation and Re-
turns Home--Nothing Known as
to Their Opinions.
Special to the Globe.
ETA NINE, Pennington Co., Oct. IA.
The English commission sent here to
investigate and report on the properties
of the Harvey Peak Tin company, whose
headquarters and principal works are
here, has come and gone. They spent
three weeks rampaging over the twenty
miles of territory covered by the tin
property of the company, and the boys
who accompanied them testify that the
investigation was most thorough and
complete. Mr.. Wilson, the head of the
company, accompanied the party, and
insisted at every step on going to the bot
tom OF everything. They were in the
field at day-break, and often did not
come into camp until late at night, and
when their work found them too far
from habitation for retreat. AT the end
of the time. however, the commission
and its expert, Prof. Vincent, could re-
port that they had seen and tested the
tin claims of Dakota as no other single
expedition had ever DONE, They took
with their own hands and labeled and
sealed up for transmission to England
ABOUT FIFTY TONS OF SPECIMENS
from the 200 claims of the company, be-
sides having large individual collections
for their own private preservation as
souvenirs of the wonders of the Black
Hills.
There was no concealment possible of
the surprise these Englishmen felt at
the extent and richness of the tin depos-
its spread out before them. 1t ought to
be said that there have been many at
temptS on the part of the press and pub
lie to antici pate the tenor of the cOnclu-
siOns that the co mmisSiOn shall come to
when it makes its report some months
hence in England: attempts very much
Ii Ike those hanger-On of court might
make to find out what the verdict of a
jury is before it has even left the jury
box. What this commission shall find
and what report is not even known to
the individual members thereof. Some
were half through, and only one was
with the party up to the finish. 1t may,
therefore, be set down as fact that all
the statements that have gone out as
representing their opinions and impress
sions are not founded upon anything
they have themselves let drop. They
were extremely reticent, and more re-
fractory to treatment by the reporters
fires than the average American. They
could not talk. Therefore, all that can
be said at this time is that the inquest
has been thorough and that tn commits
sion has found abundant reason for con-
firming the representations upon which
the money was recently subscribed in
England to give the subscribers there a
minority interest in the stock of the
Harvey Peak company.

RAILROADS SHOULD BEWARE.

1t is not good season for railroads in
Dakota to labor under the imputation of
being in the interest of the elevators at
the expense of the men who have grown
moderate crops of wheat, which they
are trying to sell at prices to cover the
cost of production. The farmers are
not in the humor to pay needless charges
to elevators, or any other monopolies.
They believe these elevators have, in
the past, taken the cream aud left them
the blue fluid, to an extent only endur-
able when figures are large and crops
booming. They see these vast corpora
tons growing plethoric and able to
build many new elevators each year out
OF the profits of their produce, while
they are receiving but scanty returns
for their investments. The fact is not
denied that some of the roads that sub
sist chiefly by the carriage of the prod
ducts of Dakota soil have, in the face of
the interstate commerce law and the leg
islation at Bismarck, deliberately re-
fused cars to the farmers and their buy
ers, while furnishing them to the ele-
waters. The inevitable conclusion in
such cases must be that the roads mean
to force the farmers to sell their wheat
to the elevators, although they can get
several cents bushel more from the in
dependent buyers if they are allowed
equal opportunities with the elevators
to ship the wheat. 1t is not
believed that any railroad can
afford to put itself in this attitude.

A REPUBLICAN ISSUE.

The division politicians look conf
IDENTIFY to the Republican party of the
country to take up their cause and make
an issue in their favor. The Republican
state convention in Nebraska met last
week, and resolved that the Democrats
were acting shamefully in denying
statehood to the 100000 people of Da-
kOta, but said never word in regard to
division and the formation of two
states. The conventions in Iowa,
and possibly one or two other
states, have passed somewhat SINH
lar reSolutiOnS-but it is either
not understood in the states
even the nearest-that most of
the voluble politicians of the party
in Dakota are demanding division as an
indispensable condition of statehood, or
they are not much in sympathy with
that claim. But the charge that the
Democratic party III congress, or any
where, is specially and exclusively re-
SponSible for the nOn-statehood of Da-
kota is mere partisan rant and campaign
buncOmbe. The only basis for this is
its failure to accept the action
of Republican faction in the South
that undertook to usurp the power of
congress and cut off a part of the
territory and call it a state. If
there was any special anxiety on the
part of the Republicans in congress to
add Dakota to the list of states, they
did not exhibit it. Without insisting that
the Democrats have fully recognized the
needs of the people of the great terri
tory as they should, in justice to them
they should not be Disseminated
against as unfriendly. If they should
refuse to offer the territory an opportu-
nifty to erect state in the usual way, at
the next session, it will be time enough
to throw rocks at them from Dakota
standpoint.
